Answer: Option A
Solution:
The number of chromosomes in the sperm of a Sahiwal bull is 30.The Sahiwal originated in the dry Punjab region which lies along central Punjab. Sahiwal bulls have demonstrated the ability to sire small, fast-growing calves, noted for their hardiness under unfavourable climatic conditions.
